Description
Iroquois China Companywas founded in 1905 in
Solvay, New York
, located on the western border of
Syracuse
near the southern shores of
Onondaga Lake
. It operated in Syracuse until closing. Although some references indicate that the company closed in 1969, certain designs (e.g., "Informal", "Museum White") were advertised and sold until the early-mid 1970s.
During the 1950s, Iroquois introduced a line called
Informal
by industrial designer
Ben Seibel
t
hat had a round shape with "a stretched look." Each piece was decorated in either a two-tone white with solid color (with or without design decals) or in plain white with decals. The set consisted of approximately 25 pieces and included patterns such as
Blue Diamonds
,
Sleepy Hollow
,
Steller
,
Teuton
,
Tiara
,
Rosemary
,
Lazy Daisy
,
Harvest Time

Old Orchard
and
